In the last post I likened the US debt limit on August 2 to the singularity of a black hole. That's the place where pressure and gravity become infinite and the usual laws of physics cease to apply properly.
Of course I meant the event horizon - the place where an observer is ineluctably in the clutches of the black hole, but doesn't actually notice anything distinct changing in their environment.
ie, the US will be falling towards disaster once we get to that point, but to lots of members of Congress (ie, crazy Republican nutmeat), the game will seem pretty much the same.
As you were.
